Mr. Janey has appeared in matters in federal court across the state of Florida; the Deep South (e.g., Alabama and Mississippi); New Jersey; Massachusetts; as well as New York. A common theme across these matters is defending against serious civil claims, such as fraud, civil RICO and civil conspiracy. Mr. Janey has also spent years, alongside his partner, representing individuals and companies in high-profi le, high stakes white collar criminal matters, including defending against allegations of Ponzi schemes, securities fraud, conspiracy and wire fraud, many of which have been parallel prosecutions brought by both the DOJ and the SEC. Across both the complex civil and white collar dimensions, Mr. Janey has won numerous victories, including defeating RICO claims brought by a large pharma manufacturer; obtaining dismissal of SEC charges against a person charged with insider trading; and obtaining dismissal of individuals from a case commenced by a global drug manufacturer.
